Mickey was one of the good guys. I had the privilege of working with Mickey for a number of years as a supplier to First Phase Data. We always joked and kibitzed about Jewish Humour and regular every day nonsense. I was thinking of him today and thought I should look him up and give him a call, not knowing what had happened. I knew he was sick, but was hoping he was able to beat the odds. Regards from a friend. - Posted by: Michael Sheinfeld (Colleague) on: Oct 07, 2014

I remember the days that Mickey used to come to the office to visit with his sister Carol. It was always so nice to see his smiling face and to listen to his stories. You will be missed. Rest in peace, free of pain. Sincere regards, Cindy Hoover - Posted by: Cindy Hoover (friend of sister Carol) on: Jan 08, 2012

Mickey was a great father, husband and friend, I always enjoyed my time over at the Mitchell's place in my younger years. We always had a laugh with Mickey. Enjoyed each time I ran into him and Dale over the years, always greeted with a great big hug, I will miss that. My deepest condolences to the Mitchell's may you find peace at this very hard time.
